Cerebral Hemodynamic Changes During Cardiac Surgery: A Feasibility MR Study in Piglets

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2026.
Congenital heart disease surgery in infants requires cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which increases the risk of brain injury. Conventional heart‐lung machines (HLMs) cannot operate inside MRI scanners, limiting real‐time assessment of cerebral changes. We developed an MR‐conditional HLM and tested it in piglets during CPB.

The effect of continuous bilateral parasternal block with lidocaine on patient-controlled analgesia opioid requirement and recovery after open heart surgery: a double-blind randomised controlled trial

BJA Open
Background: We hypothesised that a continuous 72-h bilateral parasternal infusion of lidocaine at 2×35 mg h−1 would decrease pain and the inflammatory response after sternotomy for open heart surgery, subsequently improving quality of recovery.

Comparison of straight median sternotomy and interlocking sternotomy with respect to biomechanical stability

World Journal of Orthopedics, 2013
To increase the stability of sternotomy and so decrease the complications because of instability.Tests were performed on 20 fresh sheep sterna which were isolated from the sterno-costal joints of the ribs. Median straight and interlocking sternotomies were performed on 10 sterna each, set as groups 1 and 2, respectively.
